A Taste for the Finer Things
Date: 2018-19 season
On April 2, 2021, Evan Fornier had the quarter of his life as he made all seven of his shots, including six 3-pointers, to help the Celtics beat the Houston Rockets, 118-102. Fournier, a native of France, said after the game, “You know I’m going to enjoy my glass of wine tonight and you know I’m going to sleep very well.” Fornier became only the second Celtics player, after fellow wine enthusiast Paul Pierce, to score 20 points on 100 percent shooting in a quarter since 1996. It’s unclear if this particular wine was on Fournier’s menu, a selection the team served in the 2018-19 season.
